Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of protective structures, and particularly to a protective structure for postoperative underarm use. Background Art

[0002] Postoperative care of the underarm faces challenges such as wound protection, activity restriction, and infection prevention. In surgical operations, especially in postoperative care involving the underarm area (such as axillary lymph node dissection, radical mastectomy, etc.), the rehabilitation process of patients requires special attention. Due to the complex anatomical structure, frequent movement, and relatively sensitive skin in the underarm area, problems such as infection, fluid accumulation, and wound dehiscence are prone to occur after surgery.

[0003] A prior patent discloses an underarm postoperative bandage (publication number: CN206120562U), which includes two extension bands, two elastic bands, and two pressing bands. The extension bands and the elastic bands are connected end to end at intervals to form a ring structure. One end of one pressing band is fixed at a connection point between one elastic band and one extension band, and one end of the other pressing band is fixed at a connection point between the other elastic band and one extension band. There is an angle between the pressing band and the elastic band; a locking buckle is provided at the free end of the pressing band, and the locking buckle is detachably connected to the fixed end of the pressing band. A groove for loading medical cotton is also provided on the pressing band, and a stop block is provided on the groove. This bandage is very convenient to operate. When wearing, only need to put the ring structure on the patient's shoulder, then load cotton swabs into the groove, and fix the free end of the pressing band. At the same time, put the medical cotton in the groove in advance and block it with the stop block, so that the medical cotton will not shift or even fall off during the bandaging process; the above technical solution requires professional technicians to cooperate with its use during use, the structure is relatively complex, and it is not very convenient to use. At the same time, this structure will cause discomfort to the patient's underarm after long-term use;

[0004] Another prior patent discloses an underarm postoperative support (publication number: CN203029431U), which includes an upper arm support, an underarm support, and an upper body support, and is integrally in an inverted U shape. The cross-sections of the upper arm support and the upper body support are arc-shaped, and the cross-section of the underarm support is bowl-shaped. The utility model can complete the fixation of the shoulder joint and the upper arm after underarm surgery, prevent the wound from cracking caused by the unconscious swinging of the upper arm or collision of the patient, and has a significant effect on preventing postoperative wound infection, and has the characteristics of reasonable structure design, humanization, and convenient operation; after the above structure is used, it is connected and restricted by a strap, which will cause discomfort to the patient's arm and underarm. Always holding the arm up will affect the normal stretching of the patient's arm.

[0005] Most existing protective products use elastic bandages or ordinary pads, but they have problems such as poor breathability, insecure fixation, and inability to adapt to joint activities. Some designs attempt to isolate the wound through a rigid outer shell, but this restricts the normal activities of the upper limb and affects the comfort of the patient. In addition, the special anatomical structure of the skin folds under the armpit requires the protective device to have both flexibility and conformability, and existing technologies often have difficulty balancing the protection strength and dynamic adaptability. Therefore, the technicians in this field have provided a protective structure for use after axillary surgery to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the Invention

The materials of the main body 1 and the two side pads 3 are all one of cotton, bamboo fiber or modal. The above materials are all soft, breathable, have good hygroscopicity and are gentle to the skin. The material of the filler 4 is one of space cotton, memory cotton or nano-gold space cotton, all of which have good support and comfort, and will not deform during long-term use, thus affecting subsequent use, and have a longer service life. The shape of the main body 1 is arc-shaped, which can fit the skin and radian of the patient's armpit. And there is a groove on the upper end surface of the main body 1, leaving a certain space to avoid direct contact with the patient's affected area. The side walls of the two connecting pads 2 and the upper end surface of the main body 1 are all connected by sewing, and can be customized according to the patient's usage needs.

[0029] Working principle: This application is a protective structure for postoperative use under the armpit. When in use, the two connecting pads 2 on the upper end surface of the main body 1 are respectively sewn on the patient's clothes, and the upper end of the main body 1 is just placed under the patient's armpit. And the two side pads 3 respectively support the skin of the patient's arm and the side of the chest, so as to realize good support for the affected area under the patient's armpit, avoiding adhesion of the affected area. The materials of the main body 1 and the two side pads 3 are all one of cotton, bamboo fiber or modal. The above materials are all soft, breathable, have good hygroscopicity and are gentle to the skin. The material of the filler 4 is one of space cotton, memory cotton or nano-gold space cotton, all of which have good support and comfort, and will not deform during long-term use, thus affecting subsequent use, and have a longer service life. The shape of the main body 1 is arc-shaped, which can fit the skin and radian of the patient's armpit. And there is a groove on the upper end surface of the main body 1, leaving a certain space to avoid direct contact with the patient's affected area.
